State police Capt. James Raykovitz says 31-year-old Patrick Casey is in good spirits at a hospital and is surrounded by his family and fiancee. He called the trooper's shoulder injury a "flesh wound."

Casey was at Tuesday morning's traffic stop for an expired registration with two other officers.

During the stop, a man got back into his car and fled, rear-ending a school bus. The suspect's car and the school bus both caught fire. Officials say there were no children on the bus.

Raykovitz says Casey's cruiser was rammed by the car and the suspect drove alongside him and fired at the officer. The trooper returned fire from inside the cruiser.
